Wheel bearings, Drivers side is bad. You can check this by lifting the front tires off the ground. Grab the top and bottom of the tire and try to move it up and down, not spin it. If it has any play the bearing is bad. Check both sides. You can spin it and if you feel any roughness, it's bad.

Testimonial: "i think you are right.thank you for your answer"

2000 Ford Mustang GT has very loud cabin noise while driving, but not while idling or revving the engine at idle.

At that mileage your wheel bearings probably need changing, especially if you haven't been lubricating them whenever you did a brake job! Usually the front wheel bearings, the ones taking the weight from the engine and turning weight transfer to the outside wheels on curves burn out first...do it!!!

Growing noise in front end of Volvo s60

sounds like a wheel brg, if the noise lessens when you turn to the left while driving more than likely it is coming from the right side, but a brg makes more of a roaring noise.

My car makes a loud rumbling noise when i accelerate and gets louder as i go faster, if i turn my wheel slightly to the left all the noise and vibration stops and it sounds normal again

Wheel noise or roar in front end with increased road speed

THIS NOISE IS USUALLY THE HUB. HAVE SOMEONE GO WITH YOU ON A TEST DRIVE. GET THE ROARING TO HAPPEN AT ITS LOUDEST AND GENTLY SWERVE THE CAR LEFT AND RIGHT. DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU THINK BOTH HUBS ARE BAD. LIFT THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND PUT IT ON JACK STANDS. PULL OUTWARD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TIRE WHILE PUSHING INWARD ON THE TOP OF THE WHEEL. IF THE WHEEL MOVES EXCESSIVELY YOU FOUND THE HUB THAT IS NOISY. USING A MECHANICS STETHOSCOPE YOU CAN SOMETIMES HEAR A ROARING TYPE NOISE ON THE BACKING PLATE SIDE OF THE HUB WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE TRANS IN GEAR. TRY NOT TO GET THE SPEED UP TOO FAR ESPECIALLY IF YOU CAN HEAR THE NOISE AT LOW SPEED, YOU DON'T WANT TO VIBRATE OFF THE STANDS.

Loud Vibration at all speeds

A couple things here. 1.) You either have a tire out of balance. 2.) You need an alignment 3.) You have a tie rod getting ready to go. You can check the tie rod by jacking up one side and if you can wiggle the tire back and forth you have a bad inner tie rod. If you can wiggle the tire (hands at 12 and 6) and wiggle the tire in and out you have bad ball joints. The first two you will need to take it in to a shop and have them check your tires and alignment. Also you may want to have the shop check your wheel bearings. I hope this gives you some direction. Thanks for using FixYa!

Sincerely,

JC
